Part of the fun of living in a city like San Francisco is hosting friends from out of town. A few weeks back I had the pleasure of hosting my “little sister” from my college sorority! She is quite the photog (check out her website here) so we couldn’t help but snap a few pictures. I’ve been living in some variation of this outfit (bomber jacket, maxi dress & belt) all Summer in San Francisco and loved that she documented it for me!

For those wondering, this jacket is from Club Monaco and i’m wearing a size L. It has been my most-worn item this last season and I couldn’t recommend it more.

I am so pleased to finally be able to share a fun photoshoot I did with the other Poshmark bloggers for Racked San Francisco a few weeks back! We gathered in the city with the insanely talented Erica Garlieb and had the most fun styling our own individual takes on Fall Brights and trends we are loving/hating for the season. Hop on over to Racked to see the images of all of us together (our styles are so individual and so fun!) and brace yourselves for a picture heavy post below. Thanks again to Racked, Erica and Poshmark for a wonderful afternoon and feature!

Guys, i’ve jumped on the custom clothing bandwagon. After having such a great experience in Hong Kong customizing a blazer, I was thrilled to work with PIOL to craft my dream dress. I knew I wanted something basic as i’ve found it nearly impossible to find the perfect black dress that fits off the rack.

The process of taking my measurements and ordering the dress couldn’t have been easier. Using a simple tape measure I took my bust, hip and waist measurements, and inputted my standard clothing and bra sizes for even more accuracy. Then it was on to selecting the style and fabric, and within a few short weeks I had my dress!

I love how the dress turned out. When I say it fits my like a glove, i’m not kidding. Down to the last inch, this dress was made for me. It is a bit longer than I had anticipated but I think the length will be perfect for more formal evenings out.

I’m absolutely in love with the silk black material and know I will get a ton of use out of this new wardrobe staple.

Thank you to PIOL for sponsoring this post, and to you guys for supporting the companies that help make ThePearShape possible.

I’ve had the same $100 worth of GILT credit for probably a year and a half. I’ve purchased things, not liked them, returned them for credit more times than I can count. Finally, there was a “basics” sale on GILT and this Susana Monaco stunner popped into my feed. I loved it instantly and I adore it even more on. With it’s fitted bodice, scooped back, pleated detailing and modest length, it’s the perfect Summer to Fall transition dress.
